special weapons
As the main character of the Mega Man Legends series, Rock is the designated "Mega Man" of the games, meaning he comes with a Buster Gun, and can equip special weapons.
Unlike the original Mega Man and Mega Man X games though, Rock doesn't obtain his special weapons from defeating enemy bosses. Instead, his sister Roll creates them by using scavenged items and junk parts found in the underground ruins. She can also upgrade the special weapons, given Rock pays her the necessary amount of zenny for her to find and buy the equipment necessary to do so. Usually, the special weapons compliment the Buster Gun well, with the Buster being equipped on Rock's left arm, and a special weapon of choice being equipped on his right arm to fit the occasion. Nonetheless, only one special weapon can be equipped at a time.
Currently with Rock are the following:
[DRILL ARM]
ATTACK
ENERGY
RANGE
RAPID

What do you do when you need to drill through walls and rubble underground, but using explosives would cause the ruins to cave down all around you? You use the Drill Arm, of course! This weapon is incredibly effective at drilling through walls inside ruins, usually to uncover hidden pathways or forgotten goodies. Aside from that however, it also serves as a good makeshift melee weapon.
[MACHINE GUN ARM]
ATTACK
ENERGY
RANGE
RAPID
SPECIAL
(===UPGRADE-1===)(===UPGRADE-2===)(===UPGRADE-3===)
(===UPGRADE-1===)(===UPGRADE-2===)(===UPGRADE-3===)
(===UPGRADE-1===)(===UPGRADE-2===)(===UPGRADE-3===)
(===UPGRADE-1===)(===UPGRADE-2===)(===UPGRADE-3===)
(=N/A=)
Unlike the Buster Gun, which fires plasma bursts, the Machine Gun Arm fires actual bullet rounds, making it a fairly effective weapon against most enemies. Its true appeal however, lies in its rapid-fire capabilities. That, combined with its fair range and quick reload rate, more than makes up for its low damage output.
[SHIELD ARM]
ATTACK
ENERGY
RANGE
RAPID
SPECIAL
(=N/A=)
(===UPGRADE-1===)(===UPGRADE-2===)(===UPGRADE-3===) [INFINITE]

This weapon has two settings. In the first setting, the Shield Arm creates an energy umbrella when activated, with the arm itself as the central point of the umbrella. Rock can't move when using it, but it blocks against most attacks. In the second setting, the Shield Arm generates an energy bubble around Rock, which blocks against most energy-based attacks, but leaves him exposed to ballistic and explosive attacks. Unlike the first setting though, Rock can actually move when using this one.
[SHINING LASER]
ATTACK
ENERGY
RANGE
RAPID
SPECIAL
(===UPGRADE-1===)(===UPGRADE-2===)(===UPGRADE-3===)

The Shining Laser is effectively the most powerful weapon to ever come out of the Flutter's development room. Created by Roll using scavenged Elysium parts, this weapon can fire a powerful laser beam (streaming, not instant) capable of cutting down multiple enemies in one shot. It's proven extremely effective against the more powerful opponents Rock has faced.
